We need a paradigm shift here: Menopause care is health care. Treatment with hormones (especially early in menopause) shows great potential in REDUCING risk for heart disease (the most common killer of women), reducing osteoporosis, reducing dementia. Hormone therapy has a very small impact on breast cancer (both positive and negative impact). In addition, hormones are necessary for muscle growth, bone integrity, strength to reduce fall risk, skin integrity, brain function, and so much more.
On top of the actual health benefits, symptom management leads to better quality of life (less joint and muscle pain, better sleep, less hot flashes, less dryness - eyes, skin, nether regions - and less brain fog).
Hormones are not for everyone (although everyone can use vaginal estrogen to help with issues and reduce risk for bladder infections). There are other options for symptom management too.
The point is, your health is important, and menopause impacts your health. You get to deal with it however you want - but you need to be informed so you can make choices that are right for you.

💊 Let’s talk about Vi**ra.

When a man struggles with sexual function, it’s called a medical condition.
When a woman struggles with desire, arousal, or pain—it’s called normal aging.

Men get medication.
Women get a pep talk.

That’s the hypocrisy of Vi**ra.

We’ve built a healthcare system that decided men’s pleasure is biological and women’s is emotional. But women’s sexual health is just as real, just as physical, and just as deserving of research, funding, and treatment.

It’s time to stop normalizing male sexual function as medical—and female sexual struggles as “just stress.”

Your pleasure isn’t a luxury. It’s health.
And we’re done waiting.
